Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Hamilton workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists walk you through the basics of can control and technique, ensuring you feel confident before you even touch the wall. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the process of creating something bold and colourful.

What equipment is included in the workshop?

We provide everything you need to get stuck in! This includes premium low-pressure spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. If we are working on a portable setup, we also provide the canvases or boards. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks and nitrile gloves for all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We use professional-grade paint that is safe to handle under our expert supervision, ensuring a worry-free experience for groups of all ages.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

Hamilton's weather can be a bit unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. For public art experiences, we often have indoor backup locations or use marquee setups to keep the rain off. If the weather is truly shocking and we can't work safely, we'll coordinate with you to reschedule or move to a sheltered spot so the creative vibes keep flowing.

How long does a typical session last?

Our standard public art workshops usually run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety intro, technique practice, and then the main event—working on the big mural! If you’re looking for something more intensive or a quick 'taster' session, we can definitely adjust the timing to fit your group's schedule.

Are these workshops suitable for children?

We find our workshops work best for ages 8 and up, as the spray cans require a certain amount of hand strength and coordination. However, we love working with families! For younger kids in Hamilton, we can provide alternative street art tools like paint markers so they can still be part of the creative "crew" without the heavy lifting of a spray can.

Local culture

Hamilton (or Kirikiriroa) has a rapidly growing street art scene that reflects its diverse and youthful energy. From the massive murals near Victoria Street to the hidden gems in the LOVE THE CENTRE initiative, the city is becoming a canvas for world-class urban art. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, often taking inspiration from the lush greenery of the Waikato River and the city's bold, industrial roots. Hamiltonians have a unique "DIY" attitude, and there’s no better way to celebrate that than by picking up a can and contributing to the local visual culture.

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamilton hosts the Boon Street Art Festival? It's transformed dozens of walls across the city, making "The Tron" one of NZ's best spots for a street art stroll! 🤘

Pricing

Our Hamilton graffiti experiences are priced to be accessible for everyone, whether it's a small crew or a big community project.

Standard Experience: From NZ$45 to NZ$95 per person

*Note: Final pricing depends on your group size, location, and the scale of the mural setup.

We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden surprises. Since every public art project is unique, we’d love to chat about your specific vision!
